“Polis dismissed anger over Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua taking over apartment buildings in the Denver suburb of Aurora, calling it ‘imagination’.”
I blogged about the violent Venezuelan Tren de Aragua gang taking over an apartment complex in Aurora, Co.
I speculated that “Colorado’s governor — Branch Covidian, gun-grabber, and general tyrant wannabe — Jared Polis will almost certainly tackle this . . . now that it’s gaining negative national attention. He will likely issue a disapproving statement and let this continue.” I was wrong, though he may yet get there.
As of now, he is dismissing the video evidence and reports from local authorities that this even happened.
The New York Post reports:
Colorado Gov. Jared Polis dismissed anger over Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua taking over apartment buildings in the Denver suburb of Aurora, calling it “imagination” — despite video footage, police reports and the city’s mayor confirming it’s happening.
Polis’ press office offered the snarky statement Wednesday night in response to Aurora City Councilwoman Danielle Jurinsky — who told The Post the gang’s takeovers are tied to his policies.
“The Governor has already let the Mayor know that the State is ready to support the local police department with assistance from state troopers and the Colorado Bureau of Investigation if needed,” Shelby Wieman, a spokesperson for the Democratic governor, told The Post.
“But, according to police intelligence this purported invasion is largely a feature of Danielle Jurinsky’s imagination.”
. . . . Despite the governor’s claims, however, the evidence is clear.
On Wednesday night, Fox Denver aired surveillance video that showed an armed gang of men — later confirmed by cops as suspected members of Tren de Aragua — strolling through an apartment complex in Aurora that residents said has been overrun by the gang.
Three of the men could be seen carrying handguns while another held a rifle as they entered the troubled apartment complex, breaking into a unit shortly before a shootout took place at the complex that left one person severely injured.... SNIP

The cartels must have paid off Jared Polis.
When twinks and AWFLs run your country....
HES A DEMOCRAT SO HE LIES.
STUPID LYING LEFT WING GUY.
Dereliction of duties?
The governor is complicit in this unlawful intimidation and imprisonment of innocent people. He is giving the gang a free pass to take over private property because he and his party are actively working to replace Americans with “migrants”.
These are the same guys who are replacing police officers.
Polis could just take a 15 minute break, drive east on Colfax for about 5 miles, take a right at Dallas St and see for himself.
I said this in another thread, we have to think about these situations differently, Polis isn’t stupid, he isn’t getting paid off, he doesn’t care, in order to care you would have to admit everything you’ve told people about these down on their luck immigrants was wrong, plus these Venezuelan gang members will be new Democratic voters.
These gang members are not you run of the mill gangbangers that are American, these Venezuelans come from a much more violent culture and it’s going to be really hard to get them out of the apartments.
They are armed to the teeth and will likely fight if local police attempt to take the apartments back.
Local and State police are not going to do anything without the Mayor and Governor ordering them to take back the apartments.
Yup
Ping
Local and State police are not going to do anything without the Mayor and Governor ordering them to take back the apartments.
Okay. What will the Romans do if they see a Barbarian army inside Gaul? We all know the answer to that.
The question is whether Polis is the Governor of Colorado or not? Which means that he is responsible for the sovereignty for the state of Colorado.
He is either a demo*rat or a homos*xu*l.
THAT WILL BACKFIRE ON POLIS, IMO.
Keep voting libtard, Colorado retards...
Term limited-doesn’t care.
Wikipedia calls him the most libertarian governor in the country.
In 2020, did the Mayor of Portland and the Governor of Oregon do anything about the riots in Downtown Portland ???
The current VP candidate of the Democrats sat back and did virtually nothing when parts of Minnesota was being burned to the ground.
Jared Polis is just like them, he won’t do anything, and the local and state police will not make a move without his approval, if they do and a shootout ensues then Polis will politically persecute them out of their careers.
Hmm...well, that one figment in the pic is mounting enough glass on his entry weapon to engage targets on the surface of the moon, but he does look kinda real to me.
